Re: Game Day: Suns (16-23) @ Hawks (8-32), Tues 1/14/20
I've heard over a million animals have already died. There are some devastating photos and videos of koalas burned to nothing and disfigured or displaced without food and a place to live. The fires in Australia are beyond catastrophic. They make the worst fires California has seen, and they have been very horrific, seem utterly tame, in comparison. To think it isn't impacting him because he's a pro athlete shows a disconnect with understanding humanity. Baynes is human. Just like you and I, they aren't impervious to pain or distraction.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

I think that’s why Dario and Elie had to keep coming back out on the floor. Too many guys having just pitiful games.Cap wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:15 pmSo what are you supposed to do when you don’t have at least five players who deserve to play?virtual9mm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 7:59 pmNow we know who deserves to play and who does not.

They really are, it’s not rocket science.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:17 pmFor one, Ayton needs to be inserted into the starting lineup. Baynes clearly isn't the same player he was earlier in the season. This whole "sending a message" was cute and fun but DA is the far superior of the two players. We need to make a trade for a physical PF and someone who can make a 3 pointer. A competent backup PG would be nice as well.Cap wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:15 pmSo what are you supposed to do when you don’t have at least five players who deserve to play?virtual9mm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 7:59 pmNow we know who deserves to play and who does not.

The holes they are a'glarin.
I would love to waive Carter like yesterday, would rather go a Baynes Kaminsky Diallo Saric Ayton lineup than deal with Carter on the court ever again. He is flat out not an nba player. It’s like he won a make-a-wish and the Suns have him out there to fulfill a lifelong fantasy.

A job is a job. Rather execute or leave to be with your country. He shouldn’t be with the team if he’s really that emotionally distressed. He’s not performing surgery, he’s playing basketball. Honestly it’s not an excuse and I’m sure Baynes would say the same.Wally_West wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:51 pmThis.

So if your home, where you were born and raised, where your friends and family reside were burning at a scale and rate not seen in centuries, the expectation would be for you to go to work and not be impacted at all? Because a job is a job? sauce, someday you'll realize people aren't robots and athletes aren't high paid slaves. This isn't some little fire. This isn't some small thing that's going to go away overnight.specialsauce wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:53 pmA job is a job. Rather execute or leave to be with your country.

I'm not trying to attack you but I do think you're being highly insensitive to the severity of what's going on in Australia right now.
I'm not saying with certainty that it's the reason we've seen a decline in his production. I am saying it wouldn't surprise me.

Guess what, I had a family member killed last year and had to work through it. If my production dipped or I made a mental error because of being distracted not one person would feel bad, they would sue me and ruin my family’s lives because that’s what America is like. No understanding in the workplace by the customers.

He’s not earning his paycheck. He’s paid to do a job and he’s not performing. I understand if it’s distracting him, but bottom line is he’s paid to do a job and he’s not performing.

Because your situation = Aron Baynes situation = anyone that endures a tragedy. Got it. I've had several family members killed over the past 2 to 3 years alone. My wife had jokingly asked if my mom's side of the family is tied to cartels. It's just a huge family with a lot of bad luck. In every situation, my employer allowed me to grieve and showed compassion. I'm sorry your employer seems to care less about you. Maybe it's time you started looking for a better place to work if they would sue you and ruin your families lives if you made a mistake.specialsauce wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 9:05 pmGuess what, I had a family member killed last year and had to work through it.

Thankfully, Aron Baynes doesn't work for such an employer. That being said, it's absurd to think he should be immune to the situation in Australia.

Exactly. Thanks for expressing this much better than I ever could, AIG. I would also add that if it is affecting him, I’m not saying it is, that doesn’t mean he should stop playing and fuck off. Everyone is different and process grief differently, Baynes is allowed to work through things. I don’t know if the is the reason, it could be a combination of things that has nothing to do with fires, but as others as said he is a pro. I trust Baynes to work through his rough patch.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:56 pmSo if your home, where you were born and raised, where your friends and family reside were burning at a scale and rate not seen in centuries, the expectation would be for you to go to work and not be impacted at all?

Guess what, I had a family member killed last year and had to work through it. If my production dipped or I made a mental error because of being distracted not one person would feel bad, they would sue me and ruin my family’s lives because that’s what America is like. No understanding in the workplace by the customers. Why should the NBA be any different
Thankfully, Aron Baynes doesn't work for such an employer. That being said, it's absurd to think he should be immune to the situation in Australia.
Sorry you’ve had a rough bout AIG
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

I’m sure the sleep deprivation and suns losses don’t mix. We’re expecting our first this summer too.

It's actually over 1 billion animals (just counting mammals, birds, and reptiles) that have died already from the fires: https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environ ... s-n1112326AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:48 pmI've heard over a million animals have already died. There are some devastating photos and videos of koalas burned to nothing and disfigured or displaced without food and a place to live. The fires in Australia are beyond catastrophic. They make the worst fires California has seen, and they have been very horrific, seem utterly tame, in comparison. To think it isn't impacting him because he's a pro athlete shows a disconnect with understanding humanity. Baynes is human. Just like you and I, they aren't impervious to pain or distraction.
